I’m doing pretty good these past two days, thank you. Yesterday I actually ate about 500 calories, today about 700, so far. Inch by inch. Plus lots of water sipping. I’m haven’t much umph yet, not feeling very ambitious.
Wednesday, Patt and I mosaiced for a few hours! Oh did that do me some good. I can’t wait to show you what Patt is making….but it must wait until she’s done….which could be a while…this is a big project! I will show you the mosaics I started, tomorrow.
Another good, easy, no-thinking-required project is knitting. And after seeing this(instructions included, thank you Kat), I wanted to try it for myself. I had some recycled silk sari yarn waiting for just the right project….
Bad photo…but you get the idea. Its like a pet, draped about my neck….will be fun to wear this winter. I probably should have used larger needles for this weight of yarn. Kat used fabulous beaded yarn, quite lightweight. That worked really really well with the size 11 needles.
I have to say that the sari yarn is beautiful, and I just found out here, that it is hand spun on a drop spindle. Its soft, colorful, and scrappy primitive….you will even find little twigs spun into it every so often….why, I don’t know(must be part of the process.) Its cool stuff….what have you made out of it?
I had a terrible time with the Sari yarn. It kept breaking apart. I actually threw the whole darn thing away and my friends at 212 retrieved it from the wastebasket. Afew weeks later Jean Canavan was wearing it and I admired it. It’s funny how you grow to hate those artful objects that give you so much grief.
I am SO glad you are feeling well enough to be crafty! That HAS to be somewhat good!
I can’t imagine cranking up the Delicious Scarf machine yet. Too hot to hold yarn on my lap.
See you this afternoon!
Congrats on your first one, I know you’ll do more. I’m almost done with my third one, a blend of cotton and rayon yarns.
